Deleting Expired News Posts
When looking at older articles on a newsgroup, I sometimes see something like this: Error! newsgroup server responded:No such article number 70907 Perhaps the article has expired 4c05603f-c192-4793-ba00-7df49f683...@f42g2000yqn.googlegroups.com (70907) Click here to remove all expired articles When I Click Here SM 2.0.9 hangs interminably. So I shut down SM and restart. At that point the expired articles are gone and all is well EXCEPT that I had to shutdown SM to make it happen. So howcum??? Whyizthat??? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Have I Migrated My Profile??
I am still not sure whether I actually migrated my 1.1.18 profile to a 2.0 format or whether I just copied over the files. The Migration Wizard seemed a bit unsure as to what it was actually doing. In any case, are there certain file names and/or formats that are different from 1.1.18 to 2.0?? Can I look in the folders and files and find some 2.0 marker?? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Have I Migrated My Profile??
JAS wrote: What exactly is the difference in migration and merely coping? JAS Well that's exactly my question. From the stuff I've read online, the sm 2 profile and file structures are different from those in sm 1.1.18, but that sm 2 can use the 1.1.18 profile and files sorta/kinda/maybe. I read that you are better off migrating (their term, not mine) to sm 2. I just want to know, in simple terms, how I can look in d:\data\seamonkey\users\username where all the mail, newsgroups, bookmarks, addy book etc are, and tell whether they are in native sm 2 format or are still in 1.1.18 format. Kapische?? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Another Migration Question
Just upgraded our second PC to sm 2, and this one went different than the last. The Migration demon started and I selected a profile from 1.1.18 to migrate. But when it finished and sm2 started, there was just the Default user only. So I started the Profile Manager to create a profile, and pointed it to the old 1.1.18 folder that I thought I had migrated. All seems to work well now, but IS there a way to know for sure that I have indeed migrated my 1.1.18 profile to a 2.0 profile?? Everything is in a d:\data\seamonkey\users\username folder. So what can I look for, in terms of file names/types, in that folder to ensure the profile was migrated? chuck ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Newsgroups Gone ??
Oh yeah, after running the migration tool and restarting sm 2, most of my newsgroups were not there. The news server names were there, but ONLY the mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup was present.

Are they still in some 1.1.18 format news file somewhere down in the profile folder where I can restore them?? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Lemme Try This Again
There's this web site I go to. I requires an ID and a password. With sm 1.1.18 it ALWAYS requires an ID and a password to get into the Main Page. But with sm 2, somehow I always bypass the ID and password, and go directly to the Main Page.

No Need To LogOnto TheBox
With sm 1.1.18, I had to logon with ID and password each time I went to TheBox.bz to download files. With sm 2 I never need to logon. Whenever I select the url, I go right into the main page. Where is the setting in sm 2 that would control this?? chuck ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Also if you have Quick Launch enabled for 1.1.18, it will load itself on boot and become your default browser.

SM2: No Profiles Found
So I re-installed SM2 without uninstalling 1.1.18. SM2 installed and started -- with ONLY the Default profile. WTF? Nowhere in the process did SM ask me whether I wanted to import anything. I got no bookmarks, no email addys, no nothing! What did I do wrong?? How can I get SM 2 to import my 3 profiles from 1.1.18 (which thankfully I have kept aboard)?? chuck ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Migrating a Profile
I tried this and it worked, but have I done any damage?? I made a new folder d:/seamonkey2/users and copied into it my 1.1.18 profile folder so it looks like this: d:/seamonkey2/users/myname Then in SM 2 I went into Manage Profiles, selected Create, and chose that as the folder. Bingo. I have a new myname profile with complete newsgroups, bookmarks, email, addys, etc. Altho it did not carry over the url history, if I start typing a URL I've used before, it finishes it for me. Anyhow, is this gonna be ok?? chuck ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Which Drive for Profile??
I always keep ALL my programs on C: and ALL my data on D: and above. And with SM 1.1.8 I could ensure that my profiles, my emails, my bookmarks, etc, are all in d:\data\seamonkey\users\profilename. But now that I took one PC to sm 2, and used the superintelligent migration wizard, where the hell are the emails, the bookmarks, etc I know where I migrated them from. But I don't have a clue as to where I migrated them to. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SM 1.1.18 to 2.0
Can someone please point me to a simplified procedure to convert from 1.8 to 2.0, including email folders, nicknames and addys, newsgroups, the url history list, bookmarks, mail and news servers, etc. I would like to try the procedure on a spare machine before starting on the rest of our herd. thanks ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
